AUX cable question
 

Hi,
I just got my aux cable in the mail and fixing to install, but I have one question. On the instructions it recommends you mount the terminating end in the glove box. I'm thinking of using this extra aux port for a dvd, phatnoise, or possibly satellite radio. I want to get people's opinion as to where they mounted, or even mounted the aux end at all. I was thinking of just stuffing the end behind the dash and not mounting it at all. On the other hand I'm thinking I would like the option to switch back and forth between different components using aux by switching the cables around in the glove box. What do you guy's think?

I had the BMW Service Center install it in my Glove Box. I could not find a more concealed location so i could switch between my ipod and my MyFi Satelittle player. I just run the up the side of the center counsel and lay the ipod on the compartment for now. I think I am going to get the ipod mount that goes in the cup holder.

If you don't smoke, the ashtray would be a good location too.

Ithere a way of switching between item ie a I Pod and DVD using the AUX?

there is a post on x5world in the stereo section
 

someone put a switch in the ashtray and it looked very clever and very very neat. I was impressed. :D
If i can find it i'll let you know

if i have a dealer do it, would they put it in the glove box or ash tray? or will they BS me and say it has to go in the Glove box?

AUX was my first mod. I put it in the ashtray as suggested earlier. Nice and easy to fit here.

That is waht I am planning to do....put a toggle switch in the glove box or in the ash tray to switch between my Roady XM sat radio and a plug for the Zen MP3 player. I just bought a simple DPDT micro switch , so it will be very discrete and if I have to remove the switch later the remaining hole will be tiny.
